If the Red Sox are going to make the playoffs, they need to steal some games they’re not in line to win on paper. Tonight, they did just that!
Boston sent Brennan Bernardino to the mound to start what was a bullpen outing all the way, and the Orioles matched up with their ace, Corbin Burns. This was about as big of a mismatch as you could possibly get, only made starker by the fact it was on the road on a great night to hit in Baltimore.
As expected, the Sox bullpen leaked oil all night, allowing 17 hits, six walks, and ten runs.
